It is hypothesized that both NOS and COX independently contribute to hypoxic and hypercapnic vasodilation in the MCA and BA, combined NOS-COX contribute to hypoxic and hypercapnic vasodilation in MCA and BA to a greater extent than either NOS or COX alone, and NOS-COX-ROS contribute to hypoxic and hypercapnic vasodilation in the MCA and BA to a greater extent than NOS-COX.
